About Claire

Claire Wilson is an NCPS counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also offers support for trauma, attachment difficulties and blended family issues.

Claire uses straightforward conversation to help a person notice patterns that affect everyday life. She will talk through unhelpful thinking, coping habits and how attachment styles shape relationships. Sessions aim to build practical skills for emotional regulation and clearer communication rather than relying on jargon or tests.

Her work often focuses on trauma, including interpersonal trauma, domestic abuse, chronic illness and chronic pain. Claire helps people look at how past experiences influence current reactions and relationships. That can include exploring PTSD, complex PTSD and related symptoms in plain terms.

In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. She also uses attachment-based and narrative approaches to look at relationship patterns and the stories people tell about themselves. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want help making specific changes.

Her style is conversational and goal-directed. People who come to her typically want clearer thinking, steadier moods and better ways to handle family tensions. If you are in a blended household and facing the usual stresses of merging routines, loyalty questions or co-parenting tensions, she can help you sort practical next steps and coping strategies.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Claire commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape current reactions. This helps with trust issues, loyalty conflicts and the way people connect or distance themselves in blended households.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviours that keep problems going. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and practical coping strategies in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together you will choose which methods to try and adjust them as you go along so sessions fit your needs.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking as formats are not specified in this profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter or longer check-ins when needed. If you need less screen time, discuss options that require less bandwidth or a briefer phone-style check-in with the therapist when arranging sessions.
